• Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been used to create models for many complex analysis problems like image recognition and medical diagnosis. DNNs are a popular tool within machine learning due to their ability to model complex patterns and distributions. However, the performance of these networks is highly dependent on the quality of the data used to train the models. Two characteristics of these sets, noisy labels and training set biases, are known to frequently cause poor generalization performance as a result of overfitting to the training set. This paper aims to solve this problem using the approach proposed by Ren et al. (2018) using meta-training and online weight approximation. We will first implement a toy-problem to crudely verify the claims made by the authors of Ren et al. (2018) and then venture into using the approach to solve a real world problem of Skin-cancer detection using an imbalanced image dataset.

  The strength of machine learning models stems from their ability to learn complex function approximations from data. The complex models tend to memorize the training data, which results in poor regularization performance on test data. We present a novel approach to regularize the models by leveraging the information-rich latent embeddings and their high intra-class correlation.

  This paper reveals a data bias issue that can severely affect the performance while conducting a machine learning model for malicious URL detection. We describe how such bias can be identified using interpretable machine learning techniques, and argue that such biases naturally exist in the real world security data for training a classification model. We propose a debiased training strategy that can be applied to most deep-learning based models to alleviate the negative effects from the biased features.

• Generalization of Neural Combinatorial Solvers Through the Lens of Adversarial Robustness [68.97830259849086]
  Most datasets only capture a simpler subproblem and likely suffer from spurious features. We study adversarial robustness - a local generalization property - to reveal hard, model-specific instances and spurious features. Unlike in other applications, where perturbation models are designed around subjective notions of imperceptibility, our perturbation models are efficient and sound. Surprisingly, with such perturbations, a sufficiently expressive neural solver does not suffer from the limitations of the accuracy-robustness trade-off common in supervised learning.
